Have a go Gary, it's always exciting seeing what you get out of the mold (assuming that you can get it out).
Generally it's pretty easy to make, getting the materials is especially easy for me as Easy Composites are close by. Forged Carbon Fiber is a nice material but it does have some draw backs, first it doesn't take a thread very well but you could use an insert like a Tappex Trisert-3 made in Ti, bearings need a bit of consideration, not necessarily good in hot conditions depending on the resin used (but people are starting to make con rods from FCF, greatly improve strength if directional fibers (fiber ribbon) incorporated, and doesn't lend itself to large objects because of the even pressure required during the molding/forging process. So making OEM style dual foot peg hanger brackets would be quite difficult and use a lot of resin just to make each mold, so unless somebody else also wanted "rearset" versions like mine I don't think I'll be doing that mod quite yet.
